"Trust me, the things we are adding aren't minor. We're not talking about adding some polish here and there, but 30 new levels and several new bosses," he said.

Sympathising with fans angry at Ubisoft's decision, Ancel also said that he wasn't shocked by the negative reaction.

"No, I wasn't shocked, but it was really hard for us. Of course, there are more important issues and problems in the world but we worked really hard to make something and were so involved, it was difficult for us and the fans."

Rayman Legends was originally announced as a Wii U launch title, before being delayed to February/March.
